This year, the Surrey Film Festival made a welcome return to one of its previous venues, the Electric Theatre in Guildford. The Festival took place on 22 January 2005 and, together with Diggie and Eve, we made our usual pilgrimage and were able to enjoy a varied and well presented show which included a number of entries from our own members.

Overall there were 38 entries with a good mix of fiction, documentaries, comedies and others. As always, due to the time available, not all entries could be screened but the organisers were able to fit in some 27 of these.

Having got through the preliminaries including the safety briefing ("If you see Terence Patrick rushing towards the emergency exit on my right, you can assume that there is probably a fire in the auditorium") the show got under way.
